The standard is so high now that if you want to win you just can’t ride like that. Down by 2.3 at Split 2, she’s going around rather than straight and losing time to Hoell all the way down. The German really went for it in Fort William but today she’s not taking as many chances. Winner last weekend in Lenzerheide, Myriam Nicole has the raw pace to challenge Vali and she’s equally as aggressive, turning the clock green before crashing out near the bottom for her first finish outside the top 3 this season. In qualifying, the winner of Round 2 in Fort William, Nina Hoffmann was fastest until the last split. Pompon was pushing hard before she went down There’s no change in strategy today with an aggressive run that sees her up by 5.4 at split 3 and she crosses the line in 3.09.8, a 5 second advantage and a time that’s going to take some beating.

The 2021 Series winner is clearly chasing wins rather than playing for positions and it’s clear they will come when she manages to put a clean run down. Vali Hoell has crashed in her race runs at the last 3 World Cups and in seeding here. Losing time all the way down it’s 2.6 seconds by the time she crosses the line. Into the big hitters… Fantastic result for Jess BlewittĮleonora Farina has been on the podium at the last 3 World Cups, but not today. Kiwi Jess Blewitt is neck and neck with her all the way down but crosses the line with a 0.9 second advantage. She’s not in the hotseat for long though. Mille Johnset is visibly faster, going green by 4 seconds with an awesome run that’s only 2.5 seconds back on Balanche’s fastest qualifier. The young American is having a solid season and is firmly establishing herself in the Elite ranks, but there were 8 riders still to go and she would finish eighth.
Once the racing started the first rider to set a notable time was Anna Newkirk, who posted a 3:19.9 and with it a 4 second advantage over Siel Van der Velden. A post shared by Propain Factory Racing to the Elite Women… In seeding runs Camille Balanche claimed her fourth qualifying win in a row, 1.6 ahead of Nina Hoffmann with Myriam Nicole who’d been sick all week, in third.
